Nyah Keith Burning Spear Lyrics Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning Away zion i away Away can treat you right High high high high Who is higher than I Away zion high away Away can treat you right High high high high Who is higher than I High high high high Who is higher than I High mount zion Mount zion high High high mount zion Jah rastafarian High high high high Who is higher than I Away zion high away Away can treat u right High high high high Who is high than I Overall Meaning The lyrics of Burning Spear's song "Nyah Keith" are rooted in Rastafarianism and are an ode to the highness of Mount Zion, the spiritual home of Rastafarians. The repeated phrase "Who is higher than I" is a rhetorical question that underscores the faith and belief in the divine powers of the almighty Jah, who is considered above all else. The song's lyrics also speak of the rejection of Babylon, the corrupt and oppressive system that is seen as a manifestation of evil in Rastafarian philosophy. The phrase "Away can treat you right" implies that Rastafarianism is a path that leads to righteousness and salvation, while Babylon leads to despair and ruin. The song's upbeat and repetitive rhythm also reflects the joy and celebration of Rastafarianism, a religion that emphasizes the importance of music and dance as forms of spiritual communication and liberation.

Families of victims of violence in Senegal demand justice Funeral of one of the victims of Senegal's street protests - Copyright © africanews JOHN WESSELS/AFP or licensors By Africanews Last updated: 14 hours ago SENEGAL The family of one of the victims of the protests earlier this month in Senegal wants justice. Their son, Kadhim Ba, was killed on the same day political opposition leader Ousmane Sonko was convicted of “corrupting youth” and given a two-year prison sentence. “I went to the dispensary (hospital) and found him on a stretcher. I arrived there; he was covered with a sheet. When I entered the room I lifted the sheet and I told him 'Khadim', his name. He didn't reply. Then I felt something, I started to cry. Then they rolled up the sheet and I saw a bullet hole in his chest. That's when I knew my son was gone. I was so moved, I cried a lot, really”, recounted Ibrahima Ba, father of Khadim Ba who was killed during the protests. Several people were reported shot with live ammunition by men wearing civilian clothes who appeared to be fighting alongside the police, according to protesters and rights groups. Seynabou Diop, mother of Khadim Ba, demands action from the authorities. "Find the person who killed him (her son, Ed.) and bring him to justice, is the only thing I want. They killed a person they don't know. By Allah, they don't know who they killed! The person who did this must be brought to justice. It is God's will (to take the life of Khadim, Ed.) but justice must be done", said the grieving mother. According to Human Rights group, Amnesty International, the death toll is double compared to similar protests in 2021. “The death toll has quite doubled compared to 2021 because of the response of the police and the authorities that not only responded violently with the police and the gendarmerie, but allowed private citizens to get involved in the repression", denounced Seydi Gassama, Executive Director of Amnesty International Senegal. Violence flared during pro-Sonko demonstrations last month and this month. Participants destroyed shops, gas stations, cars and buses lining the streets barricading roads and lighting tires on fire.

Senegal Government Cuts Mobile Internet Access Amid Deadly Rioting June 04, 2023 12:40 PM Reuters FILE - Senegalese Gendarmerie block a road after protests burned tires and blocked roads in Dakar, June 3, 2023. FILE - Senegalese Gendarmerie block a road after protests burned tires and blocked roads in Dakar, June 3, 2023. DAKAR — Senegal's government has cut access to mobile internet services in certain areas because of deadly rioting in which "hateful and subversive" messages have been posted online, it said in a statement on Sunday. The West African country has been rocked by three days of violent protests in which 16 people have died, one of its deadliest bouts of civil unrest in decades. Last week, the government limited access to certain messaging platforms, but many were able to bypass the outage with the use of virtual private networks that mask the location of the user. It extended the outage on Sunday to include all data on mobile internet devices in certain areas and at certain times, the statement said. It did not specify which areas were impacted or at what times, but five Reuters reporters across Dakar were unable to access the Internet without a wifi connection on Sunday afternoon, a time of day when protests have generally started to gather steam. "Because of the spread of hateful and subversive messages ... mobile Internet is temporarily suspended at certain hours of the day," the statement said. Policemen and gendarmes are seen at the entrance to the Dakar courthouse, Senegal, June 1, 2023. A court sentenced opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, to two years in prison. SEE ALSO: Senegal Opposition Leader Sentenced to Two Years in Prison The catalyst for the unrest was the sentencing on Thursday of popular opposition leader Ousmane Sonko in a two-year-old rape case. His supporters say the prosecution was politically motivated and he has denied any wrongdoing. On Thursday, he was acquitted of rape but found guilty in absentia of corrupting a minor and sentenced to two years in prison. That sentence could prevent him from running in the February presidential election and protesters have heeded his call to challenge the authorities. Protesters have also been angered by President Macky Sall's refusal to rule out running for a third term. Senegal has a two-term presidential limit. 16x9 Image Reuters
The false ranges of the police pierre Dieme by pierre Dieme 6 June 2023 - 09:40 Y en a Marre calls on the Senegalese police to "enlighten the people on the shocking images" During the press conference of the National Police, everything was said. But what we remember from the exchanges between the police officers and the journalists is the presence of foreign occult forces among the demonstrators and the absence of thugs alongside the defense forces. The novelty during this face-to-face was the projection of images. But now, to borrow from the police the old adage that no crime is perfect, the police machine has jammed. Indeed, during this press conference, the hosts showed bad videos featuring plainclothes police instead of showing videos of vandals. They thus made these plainclothes policemen pass for “occult forces”. This while all the videos showing the plainclothes police accompanied by their colleagues in uniform have been circulating for days on the net. The other anomaly was to present an image that a minister had posted… on March 23 on his twitter account to present people who had tried to burn down his house but whom the police presented as the perpetrators of the June 02 rampages! Find the mistake…. Now, if there are no thugs in the pay of power, we would like the Police to tell us who were the awkward people in Pick-Up vehicles who were driving around the capital and who were leaving at the party headquarters in power. The same vehicles at the scene of the crime during the passage from Sonko to Kolda and one of which had crushed the head of a demonstrator the day of the first summons of the same Sonko before the Tribunal. What if our Police get their hands on these mysterious white pick-up vehicles carrying power thugs

The leader of Pastef (opposition) Ousmane Sonko was sentenced on Thursday by the criminal chamber of the tribunal de grande instance of Dakar to 2 years in prison for youth corruption. Mr. Sonko was acquitted of the acts of rape and death threats for which a complaint was served to him by Adji Sarr, a young masseuse in Dakar. This verdict, contested by its activists, plunged the country into chaos. Violent demonstrations erupted in Dakar and in several regions of the country. State property ransacked, shops looted and vehicles burned. 16 people were killed and more than 500 people arrested, according to the Police. On Sunday, the Ministry of Communication, Telecommunications and the Digital Economy increased measures to restore public order. In a press release, he informs that due to the dissemination of "hateful and subversive" messages in a context of disturbance of public order in certain localities of the national territory, the Internet of mobile data is temporarily suspended on certain time slots. .
